Notre Dame – Rutgers in Big East Opening Round Tonight

Notre Dame is about to begin the Big East Tournament. Do you have your tickets?  StubHub still has some great seats available for the Big East Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament, a series of games that could completely turn around the Fighting Irish’s season.  Will they win out, get the conference title and land a bid to the Dance?  First they have to deal with Rutgers at 7:00 PM Eastern tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The opening round of this tournament is played between the lowest ranked teams in the conference, and Notre Dame will draw Rutgers, who finished second to last in the Big East standings with a conference record of 2-16 and an overall record of 11-20. Rutgers can play a little defense, but the Irish should overpower the Scarlet Knights with their powerful offense. Rutgers comes into the game after having lost 17 of their last 19 games (although they won their season finale against USF). Get out there and support Notre Dame tonight! If they win, UND will play West Virginia tomorrow.
